Default Libelle spoilers

There is a gear box on the root rib that changes rotational input to push-pull output that drive the spoilers. I remember one bird that I was unable to free up this gear box. The gears are inside a fiberglass box..........the only way I could see to get some lube in there was to drill a 2mm hole in the fiberglass box. Worked like a charm.
